Latest Review: Days of the Giants by RJ Petrella

Re: Gifted vs Created

Too many reruns of The Matrix has made be a little more than iffy when it comes on to trusting any form of artificial intelligence though at the same time I'm weary of those in power falling prey to their humanity and abusing that power.

The gifted versus created question is a little more tricky. I'm not sure if I would choose Thor over Captain America or vice versa simply because of their origin story. If I could create my own superpower, would I? Umm... yes? What it would be though I'm really not sure.

People would want to trust the one who was 'gifted' it. But I would be wary of that one because I wouldn't be sure to what end the gifter (divine or otherwise) would be working towards. I'd at least know how to deal with the one who created their own power.
